Sage 300 vs. TallyPrime

I believe that Sage 300 ERP is appropriate for a wide variety of companies looking for a system to maintain information in a concise manner. The level of complexity with which it is used is determined by the user group. Therefore, this product is great for companies that are just starting to grow right through to more mature companies looking for detailed data and analytics from their systems.

There was a need to maintain a clear overview of the inventory for one of our clients, including tracking products, monitoring stock levels, and managing purchase orders. TallyPrime's inventory management feature allowed us to efficiently track and update stock quantities as products are sold or restocked. Which was a real savour for us.

• The installation directions are clear and easy to follow.
• The ability to import and export data is also easy allowing you to perform mundane tasks easily and efficiently.
• The security features allow you to fine tune the permissions for the end users so that they cannot see data that you do not want them privy to.

• TallyPrime simplifies tax management by automatically calculating various taxes, such as GST, based on transaction data.

• Although I do like the Bank Reconciliation module, I wish it was a bit more advanced and less clunky. Some transactions cannot be reversed and the module seems slower than others.
• When using copy and paste on all modules, sometimes I receive an error message and the program closes.

• TDL related automation is something that I'm very curious and TallyPrime should invest time to develop it and provide Knowledge training on it.
• I feel the necessity to introduce the TallyPrime software access in a handheld device access or via web such that on the go transaction can be made noted in TallyPrime without resorting to Desktop environment
• The UI should also be changed currently, whenever I sit, I use keyboard like a typewriter and that aesthetic must be modified with a feature
• The theming feature should be introduced in the TallyPrime, earlier, in TallyERP 9, we have green color screen with some shades of green and now that they have changed that to some blue with bluish shade, I'm curious to have customized colors.

It is a solid stable product with a large user community and large ISV community. Support and Training are easy to access and obtain and there is larger reseller channel to ensure the firm you work with is honest. It is scalable and there are multiple deployment and payment options.

Sage 300cloud is intuitive and user friendly after some training. It does require implementation and training but once that's done, this software is easy to use and navigate. Support for Sage 300cloud is spot on and offers assistance over the simplest to [the] most complex of tasks. Finding information or learning new tasks within Sage 300cloud is relatively easy and educational.

I use it regularly, so I feel it as best apart from the User Interface. For recording general day to day transactions, it is apt and to go far beyond given features and for customization, there is a need for the Tally expert to assess the business requirement, So I feel the rating is apt in this judgement.

Support for Sage 300cloud is similar to Sage support. Depending on which channel you get to and which Specialist you get, the Support can be spot on and rapid. However, there can be wait times and [occasionally], new functionality isn't always well supported. Support documentation is great and [easily] accessible. Additionally, Support Consultants are great resources when it comes to learning and troubleshooting Sage 300cloud.

Sage 300cloud is a great cloud/web based option when stacked against Sage 300 and Sage 100 Contractor. These other two systems are on premise and require licenses to access. Sage 300cloud can be accessed from any web page and is a pay as you go model. Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and Oracle JD Edwards World are better for larger organizations that are heavy into Service and Work Order Management.

For petty transactions, Microsoft Excel is in place earlier to track the expenses and TallyPrime has replaced it with cost centers and sub-ledgers. Zoho Books being a cloud based accounting software, before considering TallyPrime, has suited the Business requirement to some extent, however, it is not adopted owing to certain challenges. SAP is far beyond the business requirement and the Learning curve is high in that.

• Hard to say - Accpac (in one form or another) is all we have ever used, thus there is no real comparison to make to show impact vs another application.
• Sage 300 ERP is the backbone of our organization - efficiently dealing with payroll and budgets in excess of 30 million dollars per year.

• It gives the best return on investment, if alternative chosen it won't suit the way TallyPrime suits
• I feel 90% will be the ROI of TallyPrime, the 10% is deduced as some manual intervention is needed at places
• The learning curve is also good, which the reason, the newbie can grab the best of it
• overall, the Impact is positive till the time Audit is in place
